5 REASONS WHY CHANGE IS GOOD.

Ever since I had my daughter Harper, my fear of change and the unknown that change creates has grown worse.

I hate being spontaneous, I hate surprise and I hate being taken out of my everyday routine, it frightens me so much and I really struggle to cope when things don't go the way I planned them.

But more recently, we have been itching for something new, something to look forward to and something that will take us to the next stage of our lives. So last Monday we decided to give our notice in on our beloved 3 bedroom house, in favour of a month at the in laws and then relocating to the city.

This was not an easy decision, especially for me.

I have a lot of comforts and conveniences in my hometown that make it just an easier ride to stay. I am now 20 weeks pregnant and the idea of uprooting me and my little family this far in stresses me out, but in the same breath I crave the future we have planned so desperately and have done for some time.

Me and Justin are just not settled by the quiet of rural life, especially after living in the thick of Newcastle. It changed me, being so connected and being part of the buzz is something I have missed ever since we left 3 years ago.

I want Harper to have the ability to have choices, choices in her education and choices in her hobbies, something that is extremely limited where we are now. It was SO limited for me as a child growing up in a small town with one primary, junior and high school. I constantly felt the need to break out, which made me so unfocused and distracted from my education and from making the right choices, something I will always wish was different.

So although change itself gives me mad anxiety and although giving my notice in for my house felt like jumping into deep water without holding my breath, it's going to give us a different and for us, an improved lifestyle that I just can't deny myself, Justin, Harper or our new arrival.

So in an attempt to psych myself up even more, here are 5 reasons why change is GOOD.

#1 CHANGE BRINGS NEW ADVENTURES.

#2 YOU CAN'T MAKE IMPROVEMENTS IF YOU DON'T MAKE CHANGES

#3 BIG CHANGES ARE SCARY, BUT NOTHING HAUNTS YOU LIKE REGRET OR WHAT IF?

#4 YOU MAY LOSE SOMETHING GOOD, BUT YOU MIGHT GAIN SOMETHING EVEN BETTER

#5 THE STRONG DESIRE FOR CHANGE IS CREATED BY UNHAPPINESS OR BEING UNSATISFIED, ONLY CHANGE CAN IMPROVE THOSE FEELINGS.
